2. Motivate ESADI( End System Address Distribution Information): a optional VLAN scoped way that RBridges can announce and learn end station addresses rapidly and securely Advantage: – Security advantages: announces end stations with an authenticated enrollment, ESADI protocol supports cryptographic authentication – Fast update advantages: provides a fast update of end station MAC addresses July 2011TRILL ESADI2

3. Motivate Why do we need a new ESADI draft? – Move the MAC and parameters from ISIS PDU to ESADI frame In the Basic TRILL RFC(RFC6325), TRILL parameters and MAC addresses are carried by TRILL IS-IS PDU. The ESADI MAC address flooding has effect on TRILL control plane, which reduces the TRILL robust and reliability In the new draft, TRILL MAC addresses and parameters are carried in ESADI frames rather than in the core TRILL IS-IS protocol, the ESADI frame is encapsulated as multicast TRILL data traffic. By this design, ESADI is a virtual logical topology (for each VLAN ) overlay in the TRILL topology. – Rich and complement the ESADI protocol Design DRB election state machine, ESADI sub-TLV, etc. July 2011TRILL ESADI3

4. Overview ESADI RBridge: The RBridge is appointed VLAN-x forwarder and participants in ESADI protocol is called an ESADI RBridge Transit RBridge: Forward ESADI frame as multicast TRILL data frame All the ESADI RBridges appear to be directly connected by a shared virtual link for that VLAN No routing computation or decisions ever have to be made by ESADI No Hello frame between ESADI RBridges July 2011TRILL ESADI4

5. TRILL ESADI Structure July 2011TRILL ESADI5 ESADI frames encapsulation in transit on Ethernet links is similar with TRILL encapsulation with an outer Ethernet header ESADI frame has an inner Ethernet header with the Inner.MacDA of All- ESADI-RBridges and the L2-IS-IS Ethertype followed by the ESADI payload.

6. ESADI DRB Election July 2011TRILL ESADI6 E1: Operationally up E2: Finding first neighbor E3: Holding Timer expired E4: Receiving higher priority PDU E5: Losing last neighbor E6: Operationally down Down: Virtual state Initial: ESADI instance is up but does not know of any ESADI neighbors Not-DRB: ESADI instance has found at least one valid ESADI neighbor and is not DRB yet DRB: ESADI instance multicasts the ESADI CSNP PDUs periodically, and responds to ESADI-PSNP PDUs with ESADI-LSPs.

7. ESADI LSP contents ESADI participation data sub-TLV – MUST be included in LSP fragment zero July 2011TRILL ESADI7

8. ESADI LSP contents ESADI MAC Address sub-TLV – TRILL ESADI LSP PDUs consists of one or more MAC Reachability (MAC-RI) TLVs – specified in [RFC6165]. – These sub-TLV contain one or more unicast MAC addresses of end stations July 2011TRILL ESADI8

9. Summary What do we do in the new ESADI draft (difference with RFC6325 )? – Move MAC addresses and parameters in TRILL IS-IS protocol to ESADI frames – Design DRB election state machine – design ESADI neighbor list – design PDU processing, optimize self-originated LSP to be sent in unicast in stead of multicast in some situation to reduce multicast storm. – Specific ESADI Participation Data TLV to announce ESADI capability for RBridges July 2011TRILL ESADI9
